CLI configuration management

CLI configuration provides a text-based interface that allows you to enter command line interface

(CLI) commands to create configurations and reports for IronWare and Network OS devices. You

can deploy the configurations and reports on demand or at a scheduled time.

Instructions for creating product and monitoring configurations are detailed in Chapter 25, “CLI

Configuration Management” and include information about the following:

• “Creating a new product configuration” on page 779

• “Creating a monitoring configuration” on page 795

• “Editing the Motorola Controller CLI responses properties file” on page 792

Some controller CLI commands require you to confirm command execution. By default, the

Management application confirms “Yes” to all confirmation commands. If you want to change the

confirmation command to “No” or “Abort”, complete the following steps.

1. Open the ipConfig.properties (located in Install_Home\conf\) file in a text editor.

2. Edit the flags, as needed.

# This flag will control the execution of Network OS and Controller

confirmation CLI commands.

# For example, reload or copy running-config startup-config. With this option

# you can pass either yes(1) or no(2) or stop the execution(3)
